About this property

Charming 1920's English Cottage w/Water Views •A Del Mar Vacation Property

  • Not available for weddings, large events or one-night bookings.
    This house does have air conditioning to cool off on those hot days.

    Because of the tight knit neighborhood, a maximum of six (6) people are allowed at this property at any given time, this includes overnight and daytime guests/visitors.

    The Cottage:
    Del Mar Cottage is the charming 1920's Air Conditioned cottage by the sea you've been dreaming about. The character of this cottage, from traditional architectural details like crystal door knobs and elegant crown molding with beautiful easy open windows to let the cool sea breeze in, make this get a way a 'must stay'.

    The Garden:
    Relax on the garden's porch swing while reading and sipping your favorite lemonaid. Later enjoy some stargazing from your luxurious outdoor spa while planning the next day's ferry ride, antiquing or golf game.

    The Neighborhood:
    Just 15 minutes north of Gig harbor is Del Mar Cottage's tiny neighborhood of South Colby, nestled between Port Orchard, just 5 minutes to the West, or the Southworth ferry dock to Seattle, just 4 minutes the East. This charming cottage seems to have guarded the bay for many, many decades. Make Del Mar Cottage part of your next get away. You'll want to come back every year!

    Walks & Dog Lovers: There are several wonderful walks to take your dog on for an adventure. By the way, the house allows a maximum of two dogs, and each dog is a separate pet fee. Del Mar Cottage is one house back from the beach, but there is a quiet, single lane frontage road that is directly on the beach, great for walks and viewing all that the beach has to offer. The frontage road (SE Cornell) is just west of the Del Mar Cottage gate.

    Then, just 1/8 of a mile east from the cottage is Harper Pier, overlooking Puget Sound. Continue your walk another 1/8 of a mile to the park just past SE Scatterwood Lane; great for letting the dog run in the fenced little league base ball area.

    Across from the park is a natural boat and kayak launch, great for letting the dog play in the water!

Wedding weekend staycation

I stayed here for the weekend of my wedding, as it was right down the road from the venue. It was more than I expected. Extremely clean and cozy, the hot tub was kept at the perfect temp, jazz playing when I checked in. I think the checkout list is a little excessive, but I would absolutely stay here again.

Great stay for Thanksgiving

When we arrived, we opened the door and there was wonderful jazz music playing, heat was on and there was a bottle of wine with glasses all ready to go! It was so inviting. The house was charming and very well equipped (even all of the necessary kitchen tools to fix a Thanksgiving meal)! Everything was there for us and we had a very relaxing time. The jacuzzi was fantastic! What an added plus!

Beautiful property

Amazing little house with lots of amenities and close to some really cute town centers with restaurants and shopping. The house has been beautifully kept and the foliage well groomed. Very well stocked kitchen with some “welcome” drinks in the fridge for us. We used the jacuzzi and the fire pit which were both wonderful. Even saw a bald eagle in a tree while sitting on the back porch on our last day! The only suggestion I would have is to have more small trash cans in the bedrooms and living room. Only ones were in the bath and kitchen. Had a great time and will definitely return to this house in the future for vacation.

Nice stay at the Southworth English Cottage

Overall, it was a good stay on Southworth at the English Cottage. Our host was easy to contact and responsive to our questions and needs. Property was clean, safe, and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Beds were comfortable. Hot tub on property was excellent. Location close to ferry access was a big plus. A few small suggestions or oppprtunities for improvement include making sure the check - in access code was correct and loaded prior to arrival. Updating instructions and procedures for maintaining the hot tub. It was actually much easier once we found out what was done in advance and needed for our stay. Finally, keeping the backyard clean and enjoyable every morning was a bit of a chore given the lush conditions and nearby tall trees. Also, we were not able to locate the patio umbrella for some additional shade during late afternoons. Finally, the views of the sound were somewhat limited with the new construction in the neighborhood and overgrown trees off property. There is also an abandoned house blocking otherwise potentially stunning views of the sound.

Cozy Cottage Charm

This cottage was just what we needed--even cuter than the pictures and so charming. We arrived to music playing and a bottle of wine and delighted in the mix of modern and vintage furniture (especially the piano!). The hot tub, garden, deck, and yard were all lovely and felt like a classic English country garden. Although it was rainy some of the time, we still enjoyed sitting out and watching the sunset. We were also visited by some deer grazing in the open meadow next door. Our dog had a blast, too. We slept wonderfully and loved relaxing in the sun room bedroom to the front. It was also fun taking walks along the waterfront and it took no more than 15 minutes to drive anywhere else we wanted to explore in Port Orchard or Manchester State Park. The cottage was perfect for our birthday weekend of reading, writing, and relaxing, and we hope to be back!

Peaceful neighborhood

I liked the location, view, hot tub, AC, and gardens. The 100-year-old cottage is quaint and quirky. Unfortunately, the outdoor surfaces (chairs, tables) were filthy. We couldn't use them. The photos online didn't show the lack of upkeep outside. The linens were cleaned in the strongest perfumed laundry detergent. We were very allergic and had to go get our own bedding and towels. The king mattress was very comfortable but the wood bed frame was dangerous for knees and legs, getting in and out or walking around it.After we brought over our own chairs we enjoyed being outside. Getting to the frontage road on foot via the highway is hazardous. The property manager was kind, responsive, and helpful. Overall, I'd give the house 3.5 - 4 stars for lack of cleanliness outside and the strong laundry soap.

Delightful and cozy, Owner great to work with.

This is a delightful cottage with beautiful water views. Owner was kind and helpful through planning and check in as well as through the stay by checking in on us even after arrival to offer help/guidance as needed. Gave four stars for cleanliness due to the nature of this well- loved century old home surrounded by lots of vegetation. Leaf litter is a reality, and was seen around the grounds and on the deck upon arrival. This is not intended to be a flaw, but rather, a review to clarify future guests’ expectations. This cottage is a vintage home that has been lovingly cared for and is well appointed with many items to make the stay comfortable. Many extras were also available that were a delight to have available. If your desire is to stay in a modern, sterile residence with sharp clean lines and pristine lawns, this is not the place to stay. However if the description above fits your vision of a place in which to get away, you will find that this is a great place to stay! Will return!
